    Floyd is the cash cow and Manny is more popular than Floyd.

    I think he was the first boxer in history to be on the cover of TIME magazine.



    Manny is more popular than Floyd outside the ring.
    Just stop with the ignorant and misinformed hype. Muhammad Ali was on the cover of TIME more than once. Other fighters like Jack Dempsey, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson also made the cover. Hell, even Gerry Cooney and the fictitious "Rocky" made the cover of TIME. Just stop. And Pacquiao weas on the cover of the Asian edition of TIME. Of course he is more popular in Asian countries.

When those two fought there was a buzz huge buzz when money fights I don't get that feeling from casual fans. But if you told a casual fan that tyson was fighting a cat their going to buy it no matter what. MOney does get numbers what i'm trying to say is dude doesn't bring the same buzz or atmosphere to a fight he needs help to do that. You want to know what star is check hou tito trinidad entrance coming into the garden against anyone. Thats a star, money can't do that sorry mayweather fanatics your fighter is not a superstar he is not beloved like most of you believe PERIOD
        You're contradicting yourself all over the place. If there was no buzz for his fights people wouldn't buy them or attend the press conferences. And you are using a ring entrance as an example of what makes a star. That speaks for itself. Trinidad was not a universal star. When did he ever sell a huge fight without a dance partner? Talk about delusions. I'm done with this ****** topic.

            come on man really tito wasn't even from the states and he sold out arenas, Floyd couldn't even sell out in his home. What i mean with buzz is no one left a damn tyson fight or oscar fight, people peace out with floyd cause dude well can be boring as ****. Yeah floyd needs a dance partner too biggest ppv for him oscar de la hoya and ricky hatton. Those are two good dance partners. Also you go to puerto rico and ask about tito no one will say nothing bad bout duke cause he's loved. You come to the states and ask people about floyd u might get a answer of "who, o the guy that pacquiao might fight" or might get a answer of can't stand the guy. Floyd is not a superstar sorry he isn't floyd fans he is no beloved by the public most of the writers and boxing fans cant stand him cause he's a jerk. Tito well beloved by a whole country. Buh Bye
